Bilingualism?

[Neuroresearch 46]

Hey, so just got an invite to interview and it says that if you’ve voluntarily declared bilingualism on your app, you will be tested on interview day.

 

for my OMSAS app I put English as first language, both as spoken, and English as language of correspondence—does that mean I declared bilingualism? I’m applying for the English stream.

Am I misreading your post? Bilingual refers to speaking English and French but you only mention English.

Yes, I think you may be misreading—I listed both for spoken, as I can speak in French but I wouldn’t consider myself bilingual as my written French is not great.

Ohhhhh “both as spoken” I see it now. When I applied I believe there was a check box for bilingualism, but they might also check your spoken languages to make that determination. Brush up on your French and be prepared to answer a question in FR!

most likely a verbal question I am assuming? I think it was that way prior.
